PERU 



Visas are needed for Peru and it is possible to get them for 

 as long as a six months' visit. Just present your passport at any 

 Peruvian consulate. No inoculations for any disease are 

 needed for any South American country but you will need 

 a smallpox vaccination certificate to get back into the United 

 States. 



In this air age we are extremely lucky to have such won- 

 derful fishing grounds so near the United States and we are 

 very fortunate to be able to fly Pan American and Pan Amer- 

 ican Grace Airways with their wonderful service, airplanes, 

 radio, weather control and ground maintenance, their per- 

 sonnel, all the way from presidents J. T. Trippe and Andrew 

 B. Shea, is the finest in the world, and I speak from experi- 

 ence, as many of the Panagra pilots, stationmasters, and other 

 key operating officials are personal friends of mine. 



There is nothing much more I can say except to wish you 

 a lot of luck and hope you will try Peru. Everything I've 

 written about Chile and Peru comes from the heart and it's 

 what I actually feel about the countries and their people. We 

 are mighty lucky we ever found this fabulous place so close 

 to Chile where there is the world's finest fishing for sword 

 and striped marlin. If you've read thus far in this overlong 

 Peruvian chapter, here's one last Peruvian term: "Chow"— 

 which means good-bye.
